Marvelous Monitors

Funded Nov 5, 2020

On behalf of my students who come to school in person and those who are fully remote along with myself, we wanted to thank you for your generous donation in funding this project. In the classroom, due to social distancing many of students were unable to see what I projected from the Promethean screen in the front of the room, having the monitor placed where they can see easily see what I was teaching has really helped them in maintaining their attention on the instruction. I have one monitor which is near one of the computer carts and the other toward the back of the room. I have one student in the class who is very helpful in making sure the monitor is always zoomed in to the maximum so his other classmates can also see. When there is a live assessment, I connect the fully remote students using Google Classroom and I'm able to see them on one of the monitors and speak with them while on the other monitor, I have the test displayed for all the students to see. The in person students were so thrilled when we received the second monitor a few weeks after the first monitor because only half of the class was able to see better. As soon as they saw the second monitor set up, they were so cheerful because now all students would be able to see better. In addition, when students are in need of a movement break, I am able to have both monitors set up to the same videos in the classroom where they can take a break from sitting. Thank you once again for your kind gift to my class. This has been a teaching year like no other and these monitors certainly have made a tremendous help and impact in my classroom.”
